A few musings for 2008
"Just remember that you’re standing on a planet {classical planet, as opposed to dwarf planet, as in Pluto - the dwarf that is not able to clear its neighborhood} that’s evolving and revolving at nine hundred miles an hour.
It’s orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it’s reckoned, a sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see, are moving at a million miles a day.
In an outer spiral arm at forty thousand miles an hour,
in a galaxy we call the Milky Way
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It’s a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light years thick, but out by us it’s just three thousand light years wide. We’re thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go ‘round every two hundred million years, and our galaxy is only one of millions of billions,in this amazing and expanding universe.
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding.
In all the of the directions it can whiz, as fast as it can go, the speed of light you know.
Twelve million miles a minute and that’s the fastest speed there is.
So remember when you’re feeling very small and insecure
How amazing....."
— from Monty Python’s “The Meaning of Life”
